Installation And Piping; Flushing And Cleaning - 3M 1BS-T Series Operation Manual

Installation and Piping

1. Follow the arrow marks on the head to connect pipes.
2. Place the filter housing upright on the cover.
3. Fix the filter housing by using the pipes at the inlet and the outlet. There is no mounting seat for the fixtures. See the
figure below for fixing the housing.
Inlet
■ The filter housing usually does not carry a cartridge when it is supplied. Check if it has a cartridge or not before
using it.
Operation
■ Check if the shell gasket and nut gasket have been installed properly.
■
Install valves before the inlet and after the outlet. In addition, install the manometer to measure pressure loss
(differential pressure).
4.Because a cartridge needs to be replaced, secure a sufficient space for replacement where you install the filter housing.
■
To prevent electrostatic accumulation of electricity, Use a ground wire.
■ Do not connect the wrong pipes to the inlet and the outlet. If you do so, you cannot filter the fluid properly.
CAUTION
■
Do not forcibly pull or bend the nozzle at the inlet or the outlet of the filter housing in order to adapt it to the piping
at site. If you do so, you will damage the housing.

Flushing and Cleaning

1.Clean the components before assemble a cartridge to the housing.
2. For cleaning use the fluid that is compatible to the fluid that is subject to filtration.
3. If you clean (flush) the filter housing with the components in place after piping by running a compatible fluid, you should
keep it running 30 minutes or longer.
4. After cleaning is finished, disassemble the components before assembling a cartridge.
For the procedure of disassembling the components, refer to the section describing the procedure to remove
a cartridge.
